Just like murder, adultery, stealing, lying.
They are all the same in Gods eyes. There is no little sin and big sin.

And Elizabeth, this is just one more item on my ever growing list of why god is a douchebag. Please use your brain, I don't care what the bible says, lying is NOT the same as murder. And you retards profess to be the moral ones?
So, if I kill your mother/father/children/spouse/siblings, then rape them after I kill them, and then steal all their money and valuables, you would just look at me like the only thing I had done was told a little white lie? Awsome.
Lying is as bad as the other three? So if a friend were sick and ended up looking kind of sickly and pale from it and asked, "Do I look OK?" and clearly didn't, it wouldn't be a good idea to make them feel better by saying "Yes"?
"There is no little sin and big sin."
So why try to avoid sin at all? You only have to lie once and you are as bad in your god's eyes as a mass-murdering child rapist.
Rather than discouraging sin, it actually makes all sins equally worthless. Why bother limiting anything you do, if having a dirty thought about a woman is as bad as raping and murdering her, if you had the opportunity to do either, what's stopping you doing that latter? Not God, he sees both actions as just the same.
So much for God being a the source of morality, he gives Christians no method for choosing the lesser evil, and no credit for having done so. So they are left to their own devices, to decide for themselves what is the best course to steer based on experience, environment and empathy.
Just like the rest of us.
Indeed, even thinking about sinning is sin, and thus worthy of death.
Now, would you care to explain how a god with such rules qualifies as "just?"
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
